The extension part 32 may comprise a plurality of extension parts. The extension part 32 may comprise four extension parts 32. The extension part 32 may comprise a first extension part 32-1 disposed in a first axis direction with respect to the image sensor 10 and a second extension part 32-2 disposed in a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis with respect to the image sensor 10. In this case, one of the first axis and the second axis may be an x-axis and the other may be a y-axis. Each of the first extension part 32-1 and the second extension part 32-2 may comprise two extension parts disposed at the opposite side from each other.

The camera device 3 may comprise a second coil 40. The second coil 40 may be disposed on the first substrate 20. The second coil 40 may be disposed on the inner side surface of the hole 21 of the first substrate 20. The second coil 40 may be formed as a pattern coil on the first substrate 20. The second coil 40 may be integrally formed with the first substrate 20 as a fine pattern coil. The second coil 40 may be overlapped with the ball 70 in the optical axis direction. Through this structure, the size of the first substrate 20 in the x-axis/y-axis direction can be minimized. When current is applied to the second coil 40, the second coil 40 may electromagnetically interact with a second magnet 50.

The second coil 40 may comprise a plurality of coils. The second coil 40 may comprise a 2-1 coil 41 disposed in the first axis direction with respect to the image sensor 10 and a 2-2 coil 42 disposed on a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis with respect to the image sensor 10. In the first embodiment, when a current is applied to the 2-1 coil 41, the image sensor 10 moves in the direction of the first axis, and when current is applied to the 2-2 coil 42, the image sensor 10 can be moved in the direction of the second axis.

In the first embodiment, image sensor shifting can be performed through the second magnet 50 disposed on the second substrate 30 or the image sensor 10 and the second coil 40 disposed on the first substrate 20. That is, when current is applied to the second coil 40, the second magnet 50 moves due to the electromagnetic interaction between the second coil 40 and the second magnet 50, and at this time, as the image sensor 10 being moved integrally with the second magnet 50 is moved together, an image stabilization (OIS) function can be performed. The OIS driving of the image sensor shifting method of the first embodiment has the advantage of reducing the size of the lens and the lens driving device because there is no movement of the lens compared to the OIS driving of a lens shifting method. In particular, the size may be reduced in the x-axis/y-axis direction. In addition, in a lens shifting method, disconnection of a wire for supporting the movement of the lens may occur, but in an image sensor shifting method, this problem can be solved.

In the first embodiment, OIS may be performed only by shifting the image sensor 10, but a more precise OIS function may be performed by synchronizing the movement of the image sensor 10 and the movement of the lens. That is, the image sensor 10 and the lens may move in the same direction by the same distance. When a synchronized shifting between the image sensor 10 and the lens according to the first embodiment is performed, even when the camera device is shaken by the user's hand shaking of the camera device, a state in which there is no movement between the image sensor 10 and the lens at all is maintained, and thus, perfect image stabilization can be performed. That is, the synchronized shifting structure between the image sensor 10 and the lens according to the first embodiment can provide enhanced image stabilization (OIS) function compared to a structure in which only the image sensor 10 is shifted or only the lens is shifted.

Hereinafter, the operation of the camera device according to the present embodiment will be described.

The auto focus function of the camera device according to the present embodiment will be described. When a power is supplied to the third coil 220 the third coil 220 moves with respect to the first magnet 320 due to electromagnetic interaction between the third coil 220 and the first magnet 320. At this time, the bobbin 210 to which the third coil 220 is coupled moves integrally with the third coil 220. That is, the bobbin 210 to which the lens module is coupled moves in the optical axis direction with respect to the housing 310. Since this movement of the bobbin 210 results in a movement of the lens module to be closer or further away from the image sensors 10 and 1010, in this embodiment, power is supplied to the third coil 220 so that the focus adjustment can be performed on the subject. Meanwhile, the aforementioned focus adjustment may be automatically performed according to the distance of the subject.

In the camera device according to the present embodiment, auto focus feedback control may be performed for a more precise implementation of the auto focus function. The first sensor 710 disposed in the housing 310 senses the magnetic field of the third magnet 730 disposed in the bobbin 210. Therefore, when the bobbin 210 performs relative movement with respect to the housing 310 the amount of the magnetic field sensed by the first sensor 710 changes. In this way, the first sensor 710 detects the amount of movement of the bobbin 210 in the optical axis direction or the position of the bobbin 210 and transmits the detected value to the controller. The controller determines whether to perform additional movement of the bobbin 210 based on the received detection value. Since such a process occurs in real time, the auto focus function of the camera device according to the present embodiment can be performed more precisely through the auto focus feedback control.

An image stabilization function of the camera device according to the present embodiment will be described. When power is supplied to the first coil 422 the first magnet 320 moves with respect to the first coil 422 due to electromagnetic interaction between the first coil 422 and the first magnet 320. At this time, the housing 310 to which the first magnet 320 is coupled moves integrally with the first magnet 320. That is, the housing 310 moves in a horizontal direction (a direction perpendicular to the optical axis) with respect to the base 430. However, at this time, a tilt of the housing 310 may be induced with respect to the base 430. Meanwhile, the bobbin 210 moves integrally with the housing 310 with respect to the horizontal movement of the housing 310. Therefore, such movement of the housing 310 results in a lens module coupled to the bobbin 210 with respect to the image sensors 10 and 1010 to be moved in a direction parallel to the direction in which the image sensors 10 and 1010 are placed. That is, in the present embodiment, the image stabilization function can be performed by supplying power to the first coil 422.

In the camera device according to the present embodiment, image stabilization feedback control may be performed in order to more accurately realize the image stabilization function. The second sensor 900 disposed on the base 430 senses the magnetic field of the first magnet 320 disposed on the housing 310. Therefore, when the housing 310 moves with respect to the base 430 the amount of the magnetic field detected by the second sensor 900 is changed. A pair of second sensors 900 detects the movement amount or position of the housing 310 in the horizontal direction (x-axis and y-axis directions) in this way and transmits the detected value to the controller. The controller determines whether to perform additional movement of the housing 310 based on the received detection value. Since such a process occurs in real time, the image stabilization function of the camera device according to the present embodiment can be performed more precisely through image stabilization feedback control.
